Hand In Hand began in the Philippines in 1974. We now have offices in Indiana, Florida, Colorado and Minnesota. We can work with families in any US state. We have current programs in China, Philippines, Haiti, Bulgaria and Brazil. We have relationships with both the Philippines and China to help place many older children or children with special needs. We also have summer hosting programs where older children who are already cleared for adoption have the opportunity to stay with a US family that may be interested in adopting them. We have a "cradle to grave" philosophy, believing we should be there for families from the moment they make the decision to adopt until their children are adults and then be there for those adult children as well.
